Chapter 1. Death state
"Mom? Where are you?" I said in a very dark and pitch black room. Atleast I think it was a room. I couldn't really see anything.
"Josh wake up you're late for school!" My mom said. Turns out that I was just dreaming, as usual. And I was late for school again. As I was getting dressed, my mom ran into my room as fast as she could and anxiously said "Josh you won't believe what happened to Mike! I just got a call from Karen that he was sleeping and she tried to wake him up but saw that he wasn't even breathing. They are at the hospital now and have asked us to get there immediately."
I was really shocked when I heard the news. Mike is my only best friend and we have known each other since we were born because our moms were best friends too.
I wanted to get to Mike as soon as possible, so I got ready faster than ever. We rushed to the hospital and saw Karen and Frank, Mike's divorced parents. "Karen what happened?" My mom said, hugging Karen. She was crying really bad. "Oh Mariana I don't even know. I never thought something like this would ever happen to him." I said, "Hold on. What happened to him? Why are you crying and what's going on? I don't understand anything." "Josh, Mike is dead! We don't even know how! We just found him dead," said Frank in anger. "Can I see him? Are the doctors doing anything?" "What can they possibly do? He is dead! But yes you can see him in room 520," Karen said. I rushed to the room and saw him just lying on the bed. I went to him, held his hand and said "Mike what happened? This can't happen to you. We are ment to be best friends for the rest of our lives." I didn't realise I was crying.
I suddenly had this weird vision. It was very unusual and creepy. I saw Mike in his room on his bed being tortured. It looked like something was being sucked out and he was in pain. He wasn't saying anything but I could tell that he was specifically trying to tell me something. I just didn't know what. But what's crazy is that he knew I was there. I snapped out and I thought that maybe that is what happened to Mike. I looked at him and I just felt this really weird feeling that he really wants to tell me something. Then I just went in this weird state where it was just Mike and I. The place was dark as night and we could only see each other. I tried to touch him but my hand went through his body. It was like he didn't exist. Like a memory. But it wasn't a memory at all. "Josh," he said. "We are in this state where a non existing person and an existing person can talk. That vision that you had has brought you here to me. It was real what you saw. Some spirit was sucking me in." I heard the door open so I lost my consciousness and opened my eyes. It was mom. "Honey we have to go now. They are going to take him for the funeral. We have to go home now. Let's go." Unfortunately I didn't get to spend much time with Mike to really understand what happened to him.
